Dr. Kemp was awesome! I was recommended to her on a Facebook group I am in and I can see why. She was SIGNIFICANTLY better to talk to than the other neurosurgeons i have spoken with. She actually listened to my symptoms and didn't brush them off like my last surgeon did. I got more referrals and i had calls the same day to schedule. I am so glad I went with the recommendation to see Dr. Kemp!
